Hotaru: hey frodo would you like to come and watch me practice some of the contests that will start after tomorrow?
Frodo : of course I'll come
Hotaru: thanks I really need the practice. I am not very good at wind surfing.or any of that kind of stuff. I mean I am pretty good but not good enough to actually make it in these contests.
Frodo: what are you competeing in?
Hotaru: I am competing in the swimming Contest, the wind surfing contest, a speed contest mainly for running. I am also competing with Lita and Mina in a beauty contest. and I am competting in a few other contest besides.
Frodo: that sounds fun. I know that Pippin and Merry are both going to be in the eating contest
Hotaru: that is cool so frodo what contest are you and Sam going to sign up for?
Frodo : none. I'm more of a spectator. I don't kow about Sam though
Sam : none for me either ms. hotaru, I just want to watch
Hotaru: you know frodo if you wanted to you could try to compete in the melees those are contest of skill and agility.
Frodo : no, i'm not really interested in competeing in anything
Hotaru: well that's up to you confidentially I am only competing in the beauty contest because Lita and Mina want to see how I will stand up against them.
Sam : I don't know, your all very pretty...I like Mina myslef, she kinda reminds me of
rosie
Frodo: I'm sure you'll do fine
Hotaru: I hope so frodo. and here is something else Sailor Rainbow prism told me.
earlier she and Sailor Crystal Rainbow tried to get merry and Pippin to sign up for a Surfing contest.
Frodo: (laughing) and did they tell her no?
Hotaru: yes they did. and I can't blame them I have seen even expert Surfers have nasty wipe outs.
Frodo : it's more that hobbits by nature are afraid of water
Hotaru: I can understand that. just don't tell Michelle that or she will try to get you un afraid of it.
Sam: yeah
Hotaru: yeah she loves the water and loves to swim and would do every thing in her aqua powers to get you guys to love it too.
Sam : it wouldn't work though
Hotaru: well I had best get going I have alot of practicing to do.
Frodo :we'll see you later
Hotaru: (heads out the door to go practice her wind surfing.)
Galaxia:(heads for the communications room is planning to contact gimli's dad and let him know everything is a okay.)
Galaxia: (turns on the comunication screen)
Gloin: who's there?
Galaxia: Gloin don't you even recognize me?
Gloin : why, it's sailor Galaxia. I ahven't spoken to you in a while
Galaxia: it is nice to see you again too. I just wanted to let you know that Gimli and all
of the others are here on alpha senshi inorder to participate in a celebration.
Gloin:that's wonderfu! How is my son?
Galaxia:he is wonderful. but everyone had a rough time so far.
Gloin: why?
Galaxia:hotaru got introuble with Sailor Vanity who sent two of her friends to kill her. (tells Gloin how Hotaru had Heard Vanity threatening to kill Sailor rainbow prism just because Rainbow prism didn't want to be as skinny asVanity was and how hotaru has reported Vanity to Kakyuu.) so Vanity got captured and swore revenge and then sent Sailor Conceit and Sailor Boastful to try to kill hotaru. first they attacked her directly. then they tried to get her friends to help them trap her.
Gloin : and of course the fellowship offered to stay and help her
Galaxia: yes but you are getting ahead of the story. Hotaru realizing that she was the main target told Sailor Rainbow prism to get all of her friends and family to a safe hiding place until either she or her enemies and emerged victorious. but none of hotaru's friends were planing to let her fight these insane scouts alone. And your son least of all. the minute Rainbow Prism told him what was going on he told her he would not abandon a friend when she was in trouble.
Gloin : that was very noble of him
Galaxia: that it was but I think it rather confused hotaru. she couldn't believe it that he had been offered a chance to escape and yet he chose to stay and help her fight these scouts. and did so with out thought for him self I think it confused her mainly because she doesn't really understand the ways of middle earth even though she was born there.
Gloin : then we'll just have to teach her when they return and has my son found anyone
special in your beautifu; planet
Galaxia: no not that I know though he has many girls crawling over them selves to get him as their love. but he doesn't seem interested. the first girl to have a crush on him was Sailor Singularity but I think he found her just a tad annoying.
Gloin : yes, rumor around her is that he fell for the lady Galadriel when they were passing through Lothlorien. I wonder if that could be true? Imagine, a dwarf falling in love with an elf!
Galaxia: that is no odder then an elf falling in love with a hobbit. and diffinately alot more common then a sailor scout falling for a hobbit. Sailor Rainbow prism has fallen in love
with one of the hobbits.
Gloin : I don't know elves and dwarves are just polar opposites
Galaxia:yes that is true but it has often been said here on alpha senshi that opposites attract.
Gloin : not that opposite
Galaxia:Gimli has also been very palsy walsy with Legolas but I suppose that when you travel together for awhile you are bound to make friends with those you travel with to avoid killing one another.
Gloin : this is true
Galaxia:I also found another unlikely pair have you ever heard of an elf falling for a hobbit?
Gloin: no
Galaxia:well it has happened young hotaru has fallen for a hobbit and you will never guess which hobbit she fell in love with.
Gloin : which one
Galaxia: Frodo.
Gloin: the ring bearer!
Galaxia:yeah.
Gloin: how odd. Is she prepaired to give up her immortality for him?
Galaxia: from the way I saw it she was ready to give up just about anything for him. but I don't know how far it is going to go. for all I know this could just be a phase she is going through.
Gloin: that is very interesting indeed
Galaxia: yeah and what is weirder is her parents don't seem to think there is anything wrong with it.
Gloin : well, Elrond had always been an understanding elf
Galaxia: yes well he is not the one that worried me it was Doselene the girls mother I mean if I were her and my daughter was falling in love with a hobbit I would probably be in major panic mode. but Doselene seems unnaturally calm.
Gloin : but wouldn't you do anything to make sure your children were happy? even if that meant letting them go?
Galaxia:well yeah. besides she probably has other things on her hands to worry about like arraging the marriage of her youngest Daughter Kayura.
Gloin : yes, isn't she marrying the elf from the fellowship, the one that Gimli is such
good friends with
Galaxia: yes.and Legolas has also had a stream of admires and Kayura has had to beat them off with a stick.
Gloin : well, everyine says the elves are beautiful. I always thought they were very frail looking
Galaxia: looks can be very decieving. I have known scouts that look like the couldn't hurt a fly but they turned out to be extremely dangerous. I would suppose the samething applies for elves.
Gloin : yes it does
Galaxia: some how I think that Gimli is on to the fact that you and I have been friends for along time.
Gloin : really?
Galaxia:yes. I have my suspecions that Sailor Alpha Senshi has told him about our friendship. though I am not certain of that.
Gloin : well, we were bound to tell him one day
Galaxia: yeah plus I doubt he was too angry at us for keeping it secret.
Gloin : i'm sure he took it fine, as any of durin's folk would
Galaxia: Gloin I think you need to realize that Gimli while he is your son some times has a tendency to go flying off the handle. I suppose however you are right that he took the news well enough.
Gloin :what do you mean 'fly of the handle?'
Galaxia: inother words jump to conculsions. infact when Sailor Rainbow Prism came knocking on his door in hopes of following hotaru's instructions he came to the door thinking she was Sailor Boastful. you could see steam coming out of his ears.
Gloin : well when someone is threatened they are always on the defense
Galaxia: Gloin I don't think you understand he was ready to kill some one. there is no doubt in my mind that if Boastful had been the one standing there he would have killed her in cold blood. I could be wrong though.
Gloin : it would not have been cold blood. She was threatening one of his friends, you would do the same if someone told you they were going to kill Sailor Nova Proxima
Galaxia: Well that is true. I suppose your right.Gimli probably did what even you would have done in the same situtation.
Gloin : yes he did
Galaxia: and I must admit I admire his courage. just as I admire yours.
Gloin ; thank you
Galaxia: well I have to go I will be in contact with you again as soon as I can.
Gloin : as always. it was a pleasure
Galaxia: the pleasure was mine my friend. until our next chat. good bye.
Gloin : farewell
Galaxia:(smiles as she turns off the communication screen.)
Sailor Rainbow Prism: (runs up to the window of hotaru and all her family and friends' rooms.) "C'MON YOU GUYS!!" (she bubbled.) "YOU AREN'T GOING TO SPEND THE NEXT FEW DAYS COOPED UP IN THERE, ARE YOU?!!"
Gimli: we will do what we want but I do believe that Merry and Pippin are alreadyout somewhere
Sailor Rainbow Prism: come on you silly (is looking at Gimli) you have to admit you would get pretty bored just staying in your room for the next few days plus you wouldn't want to miss the opening ceremoies.
Gimli : no, I will come down later, just not now, Legolas and I are discussing something very important
Sailor Rainbow prism: alright I just hope you two don't miss out on hearing Princess Kakyuu's speech.
Gimli : we wont
Hotaru: (grabs Frodo by the arm) Come on frodo I want to find out what Princess Kakyuu's going to say. (Runs out of the room with Frodo in tow)
Frodo : ok
Sailor Rainbow Prism: (looks at sam) well how about you are you curious as to what the princess will say?
Sam : i guess
Sailor Rainbow Prism: you guess? (looks confuesed.)
Sam : well I don't know, it could be interesting
Sailor Rainbow Prism: well go on there is a big light display about to happen and then Kakyuu will make her speech.
Sam : ok
Sailor Rainbow Prism:(looks at legolas and Gimli) with any luck you two will join us soon. (walks over to legolas and pats him on the head as though he was a sailorscout child)
Legolas : (rolls eyes and straightens hair) maybe
Sailor Rainbow Prism: well let's hope so Kakyuu is going to say some things that will have alot to do with you and your stay here.
Gimli : she might
Sailor Rainbow Prism: well I will see you later.
both : yes. later
Hotaru: (has been watching the light display with Frodo while they waited to hear What Kakyuu had to say and is now watching as the sun is begining to set.) this is wonderful.
Frodo : yes, it is very cool
Princess Kakyuu: ( approaches the Stage and stand very tall and errect) Yalla... Cirga... Alpha Senshi! (motions for the spot light to come on) Hella... Sirjaha... Mahayashis... Bishojou Senshi... Sailor Saturn and her family and friends from middle earth.
Hotaru: (finds both herself and frodo in the spot light because they wer the only two close enought together for the spot ligh to encircle.) (looks extremely nervous.)
Frodo: ( takes a step back)
Sailor Rainbow Prism: come on you two it's alright. (comes out from where she is standing and takes hotaru and Frodo by the hands and begins pulling them towards the stage.)
Frodo : I think I'll stay here thanks
Princess Kakyuu: (senses frodo's uncertainty and motions to him to come forward with hotaru.)
Sailor Rainbow Prism: (finally gets both Hotaru and Frodo on the stage and goes and stands beside the princess's other advisors)
Princes Kakyuu: (Takes Hotaru's hands and kisses both of hotaru's cheecks then does the same with frodo and turns them around to face the rest of the Alpha senshians)
All the other Sailor Scouts: (begin applauding and cheering )
Sailor Rainbow Prism : (walks over to frodo and Hotaru and begins to translate for them) The princess Just introduced you all to the family so to speak. her message was welcome to beautiful Alpha Senshi now meet our newst family memebers Sailor Saturn and her family and friends from Middle Earth.
Frodo : well that's very nice of her
Sailor Rainbow prism: yes it is a term of devotion given by the princess to only the most honored guests at the celebration. In the unlikely event anyone makes trouble with you or your friends, she will have to answer to Princess Kakyuu directly, and therefore to Galaxia to face punishment.
Frodo : wow
Hotaru: whoa wait till our friends hear this.
Frodo : they'll be surprised
Sailor Rainbow prism: yeah well why don't you two go on and have some fun there is plenty to eat and drink the rainbow punch is delious.
Frodo : i am hungry
Hotaru: ok then let's go and while you help your self to food. I will talk to those of our friends who missed out on hearing Kakyuu's speech.
Frodo: ok
Hotaru: (head off and finds Legolas, Gimli, Merry, pippin, Sam, Aragorn, Arwen and her mother and father and tells them all that
Kakyuu had said and the Translation and every bit of news about it that Rainbow prism had told her hand frodo) Isn't that amazing?
Arwen : it is a great honor
Hotaru: yeah so how are you all enjoying yourselves?
Elrond ; very well, although this party is a little too flamboyant for my tastes
Hotaru: Flamboyant?
Elrond : yes
Hotaru: what does that mean?
Elrond: it is to loud and and to uncivilized for me. Elvish celebrations are nothing like this and I was not prepared for it
Doselene: yes we were honey (is talking to Elrond) if you remember correctly Hotaru told us that this party would be Raucous. because that is the way Sailor scouts celebrate.
Elrond : no, I don't remember that
Doselene: you know we really have to do something about your short term memory. ( is being playful with her husband)
Elrond : not funny my dear, but I do not remember hotaru every warning us
Hotaru: don't worry dad this is the mild part it will get more raucous.
Elrond : I fear I will have to leave before that starts
Galaxia: (comes up to Elrond) I am sorry but until the celebration is over you are temporarily stranded here.
Elrond: on the planet or in the party?
Galaxia: on the planet.
Elrond : that is fine
Galaxia: and besides many of your daughters have signed up for the games that will begin tomorrow. I believe even arwen has signed up for some of the Contests. (looks at arwen) isn't that right?
Arwen : yes, the beauty contest
Galaxia: see and I doubt any of them would like to know that their father was so upset by the way we Alpha Senshians celebrate that he would miss seeing them compete.(is looking at Elrond)
Elrond: ( to galaxia) of course I will b staying to see my Arwen win the beauty competition but after that i will lretire to my quartesrs
Galaxia: Who says Arwen will win your other Daughters lita, mina, and hotaru are also entered in the same contest and if you want my oppinion I should think lita will win
Elrond : all of my daughters are beautiful, that much is true, but Arwen has the likeness of Luthien and is famed the most beautiful on middle earth my other daughters are better at such things as fighting, and archery and cooking but Arwen is the most beautiful
Galaxia: well we will see at tomorrow games.
Elrond: yes we will
Galaxia: well the party is over for the rest of the night you all should go back to your rooms the games start early in the morning.
Arwen : goodnight
Galaxia: good night.
Rowen: ( is walking next to legolas as they head for their rooms) so what have you signed up for legolas?
Legolas : the archery competition of course
Rowen: Same here I am looking foreward to showing you up. at that archery contest.
Legolas : I think not, but feel free to dream
Rowen: legolas are you saying you think you can beat me?
Legolas ; No, I am saying I will beat you
Rowen: (goes towards his room) well we will find out tomorrow see you inthe morning.
Legolas : yes we will, good night
(next morning)
Hotaru: (is at the first contest in her agenda The swimming competion and is very nervous doesn't think she is good enough to win this contest) I am glad frodo's not here to see me in this contest I just know I am going to lose.
Frodo: (waving) hi
Hotaru: (sees him as she takes her place at the starting point and pales but quickly hides it and waves back)
Annoucer: On your marks... Get Set... GO!!!!
All TheSwimmers:( dive into the water and begin swimming)
Hotaru: (is swimming to the best of her ability and manages to come in second place and lays out on the side of the pool trying to catch her breath. is exahusted from all her swimming)
Frodo : congradulations!
Hotaru: (is still out of breath) thanks (passes out from exhaustion)
Frodo: maybe I should take her back up to her room to rest
Announcer: All contestants for the Wind Surfing competion to your places.
Pippin: lets go watch merry
merry ok
Hotaru: (wakes up exhausted as she is and hurries to the starting gate)
Frodo: where are you going?
Hotaru: to the next event I am in the wind surfing contest.
Frodo : aren't you tired?
Hotaru: tired or not I have to compete. I signed up for the contest and there fore i have to compete. I don't have a choice.
Frodo : how many contest are you in?
Hotaru: ten.
Frodo : WHAT!! Which ones?
Hotaru: well after this I am in the beaty contest, and then there is the running competion, then comes water skiing contest and then then I am in a Dance competion and then I am in two of the melees, then I am competeting in a talent contest and then there is the plain surfing contest and then I have the underwater ballet contest (under water acrobatics as most people call it )then I have to compete in a music competion.
Frodo : no, you wont be competeing in all those. The music and Beauty are fie but after the windsurfing cometition no more physical ones for you. I will go talk to Galaxia now
Hotaru: Frodo what do you have against me competing in all the physical events?
Frodo : your too tired and you'll only end up hurting yourself
Galaxia: (walks up to frodo) what is Wrong young one?
Frodo: Hotaru is competing in ten competitions after the swimming one left her unconcious, it's not safe
Galaxia: she will be fine Sailor scout have an amazing abillity to bounce back.
Frodo : (turning to hotaru) if you wont drop the competitions for your self then do it for me. I don't want to see you get hurt
Galaxia: are you sure you want her to drop our of some of the competions? ( is talking to frodo)
Frodo: well not all, the beauty and music ones are fine but I do't want her doing anything else to physical
Hotaru: alright frodo if it means that much to you I will drop under water ballet,surfing, and water skiiing for you.
Frodo: thank you
Hotaru: I probably would have failed at them anyway. I was never very good at under water ballet. because I can only hold my breath for like two minutes. and I was never much good at surfing. I only entered those two because Michelle and Cye asked me to sign up with them.
Frodo: They'll understand why you dropped out
Hotaru: yeah I suppose your right I was pushing my self way to hard trying to do more then I could handle.
Frodo : yes you were
Galaxia:Hotaru I think you made a smart decision to drop some of the contests no one expects you to compete in everything just do what you are good at.
Frodo : she's right
Amara: (comes up to hotaru) hey hotaru you are still competting in the Running competion with me right you aren't going to wimp out just because you are afraid I will beat you are you?
Frodo : she did not wimp out I asked her to drop out
Amara: Why would you do something like that?
Frodo: because she was straining her self and she couldn't handle it. The swimming competition knocked her out and the others could have killed her
Galaxia: and besides Frodo is concerned for her well being. as you should be since you are her sister and are supposed to care about her.
Amara: (looks at frodo) I think you were just afraid she would lose to me and are trying to keep her from embarassing her self.
Frodo : Hotaru could beat you in anything she wanted to and your supposed to be her friend, why would you say something like that?
Hotaru: (looks down cast) Frodo she says it because its true I couldn't beat her in running she is the fastest runner I know she always runs like she is running away from something. I couldn't hope to beat her it was probably best that the Running contest was one of the contests I dropped.
Frodo : no, you could beat her if you really wanted too, just like your sailor powers could deafeat all of the sailors, her included, with one blast.
Amara: Keep Dreaming. her powers could beat mine but she has never won a race against me in her life and we have often raced to gether. well I will see you later chickies.( leaves)
Frodo : good ridance
Hotaru: (was really hurt by amara's teasing and heads off to her the beauty contest feeling even worse about herself.) I will see you you later frodo.
Frodo : i'll be watching the beauty contest
Galaxia: (comes up to frodo) Hotaru seems to really be taking her sister's teasing to heart doesn't she.
Frodo : yes she does. Why would her sister tease her like that?
Galaxia: well that kind of goes back to when they had been taken to the dynasty. you see hotaru seemed to have small amounts of problems running and having fun like many of the dynasty children. her sister were suffering similarly but in a lesser form so the doctors considered her to be weaker then any of her sisters and there for many of her siblings pick on her like that.
Frodo : oh
Galaxia: in a way frodo I think you are doing her alot of good. though her sisters still tease her and make her feel badly about herself or like she has to prove something to them when she is around you she seems to lossen up a bit I think she feels safe around you.
Frodo : I'll help her any way I can
Galaxia: I am glad to hear that. because she is going to need you the most during these next few days her sister will be picking on her merciliouly. plus it was not only her sisters that made her selfesteem bad it was also the fact that Talpa was not a very good pretend father.
Frodo : I can imagine
Galaxia: I could tell you tales of the abuse Hotaru and her sisters suffered as his
daughter that would make your hair stand on end.
Frodo : poor girls!
Galaxia: and I don't know if you have noticed but there have been times that I have
noticed that hotaru will actively avoid Legolas or Gimli I have even noticed she some times avoids merry and Pippin. Have you noticed it as well?
Frodo :yes, but why, they all like her
Galaxia: that is one of the consquences that hotaru now has to live with. Because talpa abused her for the time she was in the dynasty and he was a live she now has a small fear of people.Doesn't know who to trust but it seems she doesn't tend to shy away from you. or her mother. which is a good sign.
Frodo: she'll learn to trust them
Galaxia: give her time she will learn to trust them but the good thing is that she has already learned that she can trust some people you should thank your lucky stars that you are one of the people she trusts.
Frodo : I do, every day
Galaxia: well come on I will take you to the audiotorium where the beauty contest is
being held.
Frodo ok
Hotaru: (is very nervous and is also very thankful that she is the last contestant to be shown)
Anouncer: first up we have the Lovely Arwen she is flaunting a lovely hair style of dreadlocks with a pick bow hair clip at the end of each one her dress is a alpha senshi style that simply screams hello world stand up and take notice.
crowd : oooh aaahhhh
Anouncer: (goes through all the other contestants) and finally here is hotaru she is toteing a hair style that says I am an individual and her outfit simply screams I Don't care what any one else thinks I am unique and I like who I am and nothing is going to
change that.
crowd: ooooohhhh aaahhh
Hotaru: (walks on to the stage still dwelling on what amara said but hides it as best she can)
Anouncer: so which one of these lovely ladies will be today's big winner. well in a few minutes our judges will hand in the results.
(takes the envelope from the judges and opens it) and the results are Arwen wins and in second place is her (mumbles just loud enough for arwen to hear her) Pathetic sister
Hotaru. (didn't really think that hotaru's outfit was nice was just trying to be nice to see if the crowd hated it as much as she did) (and had actaully been paid by Amara to say that hotaru was pathetic)
Arwen : excuse me,but my sister is not pathetic!
Anouncer: and what makes you so sure of that?
Arwen : she's brave and loyal and sweeter than anyone I've ever met. Why would you say somwething like that about someone you didn't even know! (Is angry)
Anouncer: I said that because that is what I was paid by Sailor Uranus to say. She paid me to say that because Sailor Saturn is a weakling.
Arwen : Sailor Uranus! Come here NOW!
Amara: (walks up to her sister arwen) yes? (Smiles like nothing is wrong) What is it sis?
Arwen : How DARE you say that about our sister! You should be ashamed
Amara: I said those things because hotaru was to much of a coward to race against me in the running contest and decided to drop it because she knew she would lose.
Arwen : that still gives you NO right to disrespect her like that. Hotaru has medical problems, you KNOW that! It could have hurt if not killed her! Is that what You wanted to happen!
Amara: No.
Arwen : Well that is what could have happened because of your stupidity!
Amara: well Excuse me for trying to get hotaru to forget about her health problems and live alittle for a change.
Arwen : Making her feel BAD about herself was not the way to go about it!
Hotaru: (leaves the audiotorium and decides to go back to her room until the next contest starts)
Amara: well Arwen How did you expect me to behave towards Hotaru at that point HuH? (begins to Yell at Arwen) YOU SEE MY SISTERS AND I SPENT FIVE YEARS IN THE DYNASTY AT THE MERCY OF A MAD MAN BY THE NAME OF TALPA WHO ONLY TAUGHT US HOW TO BE MEAN AND WAS MEAN TO US AS WELL MEANWHILE YOU SPENT THAT TIME WITH OUR DAD LEARNING TO BE KIND AND GENTLE AND HALF A MILLION OTHER THINGS.
Arwen : that is NO EXCUSE! Do you see any of our other sisters acting like you?! NO!
Amara: Arwen you are impossible. I would like to see you go through what the others and I went through in talpa's clutches and see if you come out any better then I did.
Arwen : Hotaru came out better than you did! Mina, Rei, Ami, and Serena came out better than you did!
Amara: Yeah Right Hotaru may have come out with a Better attitude then I did but she came out with a terrible self esteem other wise my words wouldn't bother her so much.
Arwen : No, your words hurt all of us more than you know, your her sister, your supposed to love and protect her, not try and brng her down. I think your the one with the low self-esteem, otherwise you wouldn't be trying to hard to bring hotaru down to your level
Amara: Oh are you saying I should let her be a soft weakling like you and not try to make her strong and tough like me?
Arwen: I am no soft weakling sister
Mina: (walks up to the two fighting girls) Stop this we are sisters not enemies we shouldn't be fighting eachother. Save it for when we have enemies.
Amara: you stay out of this mina!
Arwen : I do not want to fight but I will not stand by and let her hurt and disrespect one of our sisters
Mina: I know how you feel arwen but this is not the way to fix this why don't we go and talk to dad. he will help us straighten this out.
Arwen : sometimes fighting is the only way to resolve things Mina. If we talk about this the idea will still remain in her head that she is the strongest and most powerful among us, someone needs to teach her otherwise and if I'm the one that must do it, so be it
Mina: but isn't dad the authority figure in our family? shouldn't he be informed when one of us is going over a line? he will probably be able to punish amara more fittingly then you will sis not saying you couldn't punish her in your own way.
Amara: (becomes nervous) we don't really have to bring dad into this do we?
Arwen : yes, but punishment is not what I intend to accomplish, bringing dad in would only show her that we cannot fight for our selves and that we must have our "daddy" solve all our problems
Mina: Alright arwen whatever you say you are older then me after all but I think I will go and see if Hotaru is alright.
Arwen : yes, do that, and tell her what I intend to do. I beleive Hotaure has more power than Amara thinks she does
Arwen : and perhaps if one of us is in danger she will finally decide to use it
Mina: Alright arwen just be careful Amara is pretty powerful.
Arwen : I will
Mina:(leaves and heads towards hotaru's room)
Amara: are you ready to be trounced in to little tiny peices.(has regained her composure)
Arwen : I do not fear you
Amara: Big mistake.
Arwen : you would hurt your own sister?
Amara:(seems to think it over and has a mental Conversation with Her old friend Cecilia who had taught her to be a bully which is loud enough through telepathy for arwen to hear) Cecilia why do we have to hurt and intimidate people?
Cecilia: (in amara's mind) Because that is what bullies do. we have to be mean and tough to get a head in life.
Arwen : amara, you don't have to be a bully to get a head in life
Amara: (mentally) but it feels wrong I don't like having people be afraid of me.
Arwen : we're not afraid of you, we feel sorry for you
Cecilia: you have people to be afraid of you to inoder to get respect. remember that all the popular kids thought you were beneath them. I am your only friend.
Amara: but what about my sisters I always considered them to be my friends as well.
Arwen : she doesn't know wnythingm haven't you ever heard the phrase misery loves company
Amara: (is brought back to reality by the sound of Arwen's voice) Arwen what just happened? and what were you talking about? (doesn't know that Arwen had heard the entire mental conversation)
Arwen : I heard everything you were replaying in your mind
Amara: you heard everything? well know you know why I am such a problem.
Arwen: No I don't, you are who you choose to be, not who someone else tells you you should be
Amara: Awen don't you get it Cecilia was my mentor she was the only friend I had when I was a child I did my best to fit in with her mainly because everyone else in school thought I was worth as much as the dirt under their feet.
Frodo : of course I'll come
Hotaru: thanks I really need the practice. I am not very good at wind surfing.or any of that kind of stuff. I mean I am pretty good but not good enough to actually make it in these contests.
Frodo: what are you competeing in?
Hotaru: I am competing in the swimming Contest, the wind surfing contest, a speed contest mainly for running. I am also competing with Lita and Mina in a beauty contest. and I am competting in a few other contest besides.
Frodo: that sounds fun. I know that Pippin and Merry are both going to be in the eating contest
Hotaru: that is cool so frodo what contest are you and Sam going to sign up for?
Frodo : none. I'm more of a spectator. I don't kow about Sam though
Sam : none for me either ms. hotaru, I just want to watch
Hotaru: you know frodo if you wanted to you could try to compete in the melees those are contest of skill and agility.
Frodo : no, i'm not really interested in competeing in anything
Hotaru: well that's up to you confidentially I am only competing in the beauty contest because Lita and Mina want to see how I will stand up against them.
Sam : I don't know, your all very pretty...I like Mina myslef, she kinda reminds me of
rosie
Frodo: I'm sure you'll do fine
Hotaru: I hope so frodo. and here is something else Sailor Rainbow prism told me.
earlier she and Sailor Crystal Rainbow tried to get merry and Pippin to sign up for a Surfing contest.
Frodo: (laughing) and did they tell her no?
Hotaru: yes they did. and I can't blame them I have seen even expert Surfers have nasty wipe outs.
Frodo : it's more that hobbits by nature are afraid of water
Hotaru: I can understand that. just don't tell Michelle that or she will try to get you un afraid of it.
Sam: yeah
Hotaru: yeah she loves the water and loves to swim and would do every thing in her aqua powers to get you guys to love it too.
Sam : it wouldn't work though
Hotaru: well I had best get going I have alot of practicing to do.
Frodo :we'll see you later
Hotaru: (heads out the door to go practice her wind surfing.)
Galaxia:(heads for the communications room is planning to contact gimli's dad and let him know everything is a okay.)
Galaxia: (turns on the comunication screen)
Gloin: who's there?
Galaxia: Gloin don't you even recognize me?
Gloin : why, it's sailor Galaxia. I ahven't spoken to you in a while
Galaxia: it is nice to see you again too. I just wanted to let you know that Gimli and all
of the others are here on alpha senshi inorder to participate in a celebration.
Gloin:that's wonderfu! How is my son?
Galaxia:he is wonderful. but everyone had a rough time so far.
Gloin: why?
Galaxia:hotaru got introuble with Sailor Vanity who sent two of her friends to kill her. (tells Gloin how Hotaru had Heard Vanity threatening to kill Sailor rainbow prism just because Rainbow prism didn't want to be as skinny asVanity was and how hotaru has reported Vanity to Kakyuu.) so Vanity got captured and swore revenge and then sent Sailor Conceit and Sailor Boastful to try to kill hotaru. first they attacked her directly. then they tried to get her friends to help them trap her.
Gloin : and of course the fellowship offered to stay and help her
Galaxia: yes but you are getting ahead of the story. Hotaru realizing that she was the main target told Sailor Rainbow prism to get all of her friends and family to a safe hiding place until either she or her enemies and emerged victorious. but none of hotaru's friends were planing to let her fight these insane scouts alone. And your son least of all. the minute Rainbow Prism told him what was going on he told her he would not abandon a friend when she was in trouble.
Gloin : that was very noble of him
Galaxia: that it was but I think it rather confused hotaru. she couldn't believe it that he had been offered a chance to escape and yet he chose to stay and help her fight these scouts. and did so with out thought for him self I think it confused her mainly because she doesn't really understand the ways of middle earth even though she was born there.
Gloin : then we'll just have to teach her when they return and has my son found anyone
special in your beautifu; planet
Galaxia: no not that I know though he has many girls crawling over them selves to get him as their love. but he doesn't seem interested. the first girl to have a crush on him was Sailor Singularity but I think he found her just a tad annoying.
Gloin : yes, rumor around her is that he fell for the lady Galadriel when they were passing through Lothlorien. I wonder if that could be true? Imagine, a dwarf falling in love with an elf!
Galaxia: that is no odder then an elf falling in love with a hobbit. and diffinately alot more common then a sailor scout falling for a hobbit. Sailor Rainbow prism has fallen in love
with one of the hobbits.
Gloin : I don't know elves and dwarves are just polar opposites
Galaxia:yes that is true but it has often been said here on alpha senshi that opposites attract.
Gloin : not that opposite
Galaxia:Gimli has also been very palsy walsy with Legolas but I suppose that when you travel together for awhile you are bound to make friends with those you travel with to avoid killing one another.
Gloin : this is true
Galaxia:I also found another unlikely pair have you ever heard of an elf falling for a hobbit?
Gloin: no
Galaxia:well it has happened young hotaru has fallen for a hobbit and you will never guess which hobbit she fell in love with.
Gloin : which one
Galaxia: Frodo.
Gloin: the ring bearer!
Galaxia:yeah.
Gloin: how odd. Is she prepaired to give up her immortality for him?
Galaxia: from the way I saw it she was ready to give up just about anything for him. but I don't know how far it is going to go. for all I know this could just be a phase she is going through.
Gloin: that is very interesting indeed
Galaxia: yeah and what is weirder is her parents don't seem to think there is anything wrong with it.
Gloin : well, Elrond had always been an understanding elf
Galaxia: yes well he is not the one that worried me it was Doselene the girls mother I mean if I were her and my daughter was falling in love with a hobbit I would probably be in major panic mode. but Doselene seems unnaturally calm.
Gloin : but wouldn't you do anything to make sure your children were happy? even if that meant letting them go?
Galaxia:well yeah. besides she probably has other things on her hands to worry about like arraging the marriage of her youngest Daughter Kayura.
Gloin : yes, isn't she marrying the elf from the fellowship, the one that Gimli is such
good friends with
Galaxia: yes.and Legolas has also had a stream of admires and Kayura has had to beat them off with a stick.
Gloin : well, everyine says the elves are beautiful. I always thought they were very frail looking
Galaxia: looks can be very decieving. I have known scouts that look like the couldn't hurt a fly but they turned out to be extremely dangerous. I would suppose the samething applies for elves.
Gloin : yes it does
Galaxia: some how I think that Gimli is on to the fact that you and I have been friends for along time.
Gloin : really?
Galaxia:yes. I have my suspecions that Sailor Alpha Senshi has told him about our friendship. though I am not certain of that.
Gloin : well, we were bound to tell him one day
Galaxia: yeah plus I doubt he was too angry at us for keeping it secret.
Gloin : i'm sure he took it fine, as any of durin's folk would
Galaxia: Gloin I think you need to realize that Gimli while he is your son some times has a tendency to go flying off the handle. I suppose however you are right that he took the news well enough.
Gloin :what do you mean 'fly of the handle?'
Galaxia: inother words jump to conculsions. infact when Sailor Rainbow Prism came knocking on his door in hopes of following hotaru's instructions he came to the door thinking she was Sailor Boastful. you could see steam coming out of his ears.
Gloin : well when someone is threatened they are always on the defense
Galaxia: Gloin I don't think you understand he was ready to kill some one. there is no doubt in my mind that if Boastful had been the one standing there he would have killed her in cold blood. I could be wrong though.
Gloin : it would not have been cold blood. She was threatening one of his friends, you would do the same if someone told you they were going to kill Sailor Nova Proxima
Galaxia: Well that is true. I suppose your right.Gimli probably did what even you would have done in the same situtation.
Gloin : yes he did
Galaxia: and I must admit I admire his courage. just as I admire yours.
Gloin ; thank you
Galaxia: well I have to go I will be in contact with you again as soon as I can.
Gloin : as always. it was a pleasure
Galaxia: the pleasure was mine my friend. until our next chat. good bye.
Gloin : farewell
Galaxia:(smiles as she turns off the communication screen.)
Sailor Rainbow Prism: (runs up to the window of hotaru and all her family and friends' rooms.) "C'MON YOU GUYS!!" (she bubbled.) "YOU AREN'T GOING TO SPEND THE NEXT FEW DAYS COOPED UP IN THERE, ARE YOU?!!"
Gimli: we will do what we want but I do believe that Merry and Pippin are alreadyout somewhere
Sailor Rainbow Prism: come on you silly (is looking at Gimli) you have to admit you would get pretty bored just staying in your room for the next few days plus you wouldn't want to miss the opening ceremoies.
Gimli : no, I will come down later, just not now, Legolas and I are discussing something very important
Sailor Rainbow prism: alright I just hope you two don't miss out on hearing Princess Kakyuu's speech.
Gimli : we wont
Hotaru: (grabs Frodo by the arm) Come on frodo I want to find out what Princess Kakyuu's going to say. (Runs out of the room with Frodo in tow)
Frodo : ok
Sailor Rainbow Prism: (looks at sam) well how about you are you curious as to what the princess will say?
Sam : i guess
Sailor Rainbow Prism: you guess? (looks confuesed.)
Sam : well I don't know, it could be interesting
Sailor Rainbow Prism: well go on there is a big light display about to happen and then Kakyuu will make her speech.
Sam : ok
Sailor Rainbow Prism:(looks at legolas and Gimli) with any luck you two will join us soon. (walks over to legolas and pats him on the head as though he was a sailorscout child)
Legolas : (rolls eyes and straightens hair) maybe
Sailor Rainbow Prism: well let's hope so Kakyuu is going to say some things that will have alot to do with you and your stay here.
Gimli : she might
Sailor Rainbow Prism: well I will see you later.
both : yes. later
Hotaru: (has been watching the light display with Frodo while they waited to hear What Kakyuu had to say and is now watching as the sun is begining to set.) this is wonderful.
Frodo : yes, it is very cool
Princess Kakyuu: ( approaches the Stage and stand very tall and errect) Yalla... Cirga... Alpha Senshi! (motions for the spot light to come on) Hella... Sirjaha... Mahayashis... Bishojou Senshi... Sailor Saturn and her family and friends from middle earth.
Hotaru: (finds both herself and frodo in the spot light because they wer the only two close enought together for the spot ligh to encircle.) (looks extremely nervous.)
Frodo: ( takes a step back)
Sailor Rainbow Prism: come on you two it's alright. (comes out from where she is standing and takes hotaru and Frodo by the hands and begins pulling them towards the stage.)
Frodo : I think I'll stay here thanks
Princess Kakyuu: (senses frodo's uncertainty and motions to him to come forward with hotaru.)
Sailor Rainbow Prism: (finally gets both Hotaru and Frodo on the stage and goes and stands beside the princess's other advisors)
Princes Kakyuu: (Takes Hotaru's hands and kisses both of hotaru's cheecks then does the same with frodo and turns them around to face the rest of the Alpha senshians)
All the other Sailor Scouts: (begin applauding and cheering )
Sailor Rainbow Prism : (walks over to frodo and Hotaru and begins to translate for them) The princess Just introduced you all to the family so to speak. her message was welcome to beautiful Alpha Senshi now meet our newst family memebers Sailor Saturn and her family and friends from Middle Earth.
Frodo : well that's very nice of her
Sailor Rainbow prism: yes it is a term of devotion given by the princess to only the most honored guests at the celebration. In the unlikely event anyone makes trouble with you or your friends, she will have to answer to Princess Kakyuu directly, and therefore to Galaxia to face punishment.
Frodo : wow
Hotaru: whoa wait till our friends hear this.
Frodo : they'll be surprised
Sailor Rainbow prism: yeah well why don't you two go on and have some fun there is plenty to eat and drink the rainbow punch is delious.
Frodo : i am hungry
Hotaru: ok then let's go and while you help your self to food. I will talk to those of our friends who missed out on hearing Kakyuu's speech.
Frodo: ok
Hotaru: (head off and finds Legolas, Gimli, Merry, pippin, Sam, Aragorn, Arwen and her mother and father and tells them all that
Kakyuu had said and the Translation and every bit of news about it that Rainbow prism had told her hand frodo) Isn't that amazing?
Arwen : it is a great honor
Hotaru: yeah so how are you all enjoying yourselves?
Elrond ; very well, although this party is a little too flamboyant for my tastes
Hotaru: Flamboyant?
Elrond : yes
Hotaru: what does that mean?
Elrond: it is to loud and and to uncivilized for me. Elvish celebrations are nothing like this and I was not prepared for it
Doselene: yes we were honey (is talking to Elrond) if you remember correctly Hotaru told us that this party would be Raucous. because that is the way Sailor scouts celebrate.
Elrond : no, I don't remember that
Doselene: you know we really have to do something about your short term memory. ( is being playful with her husband)
Elrond : not funny my dear, but I do not remember hotaru every warning us
Hotaru: don't worry dad this is the mild part it will get more raucous.
Elrond : I fear I will have to leave before that starts
Galaxia: (comes up to Elrond) I am sorry but until the celebration is over you are temporarily stranded here.
Elrond: on the planet or in the party?
Galaxia: on the planet.
Elrond : that is fine
Galaxia: and besides many of your daughters have signed up for the games that will begin tomorrow. I believe even arwen has signed up for some of the Contests. (looks at arwen) isn't that right?
Arwen : yes, the beauty contest
Galaxia: see and I doubt any of them would like to know that their father was so upset by the way we Alpha Senshians celebrate that he would miss seeing them compete.(is looking at Elrond)
Elrond: ( to galaxia) of course I will b staying to see my Arwen win the beauty competition but after that i will lretire to my quartesrs
Galaxia: Who says Arwen will win your other Daughters lita, mina, and hotaru are also entered in the same contest and if you want my oppinion I should think lita will win
Elrond : all of my daughters are beautiful, that much is true, but Arwen has the likeness of Luthien and is famed the most beautiful on middle earth my other daughters are better at such things as fighting, and archery and cooking but Arwen is the most beautiful
Galaxia: well we will see at tomorrow games.
Elrond: yes we will
Galaxia: well the party is over for the rest of the night you all should go back to your rooms the games start early in the morning.
Arwen : goodnight
Galaxia: good night.
Rowen: ( is walking next to legolas as they head for their rooms) so what have you signed up for legolas?
Legolas : the archery competition of course
Rowen: Same here I am looking foreward to showing you up. at that archery contest.
Legolas : I think not, but feel free to dream
Rowen: legolas are you saying you think you can beat me?
Legolas ; No, I am saying I will beat you
Rowen: (goes towards his room) well we will find out tomorrow see you inthe morning.
Legolas : yes we will, good night
(next morning)
Hotaru: (is at the first contest in her agenda The swimming competion and is very nervous doesn't think she is good enough to win this contest) I am glad frodo's not here to see me in this contest I just know I am going to lose.
Frodo: (waving) hi
Hotaru: (sees him as she takes her place at the starting point and pales but quickly hides it and waves back)
Annoucer: On your marks... Get Set... GO!!!!
All TheSwimmers:( dive into the water and begin swimming)
Hotaru: (is swimming to the best of her ability and manages to come in second place and lays out on the side of the pool trying to catch her breath. is exahusted from all her swimming)
Frodo : congradulations!
Hotaru: (is still out of breath) thanks (passes out from exhaustion)
Frodo: maybe I should take her back up to her room to rest
Announcer: All contestants for the Wind Surfing competion to your places.
Pippin: lets go watch merry
merry ok
Hotaru: (wakes up exhausted as she is and hurries to the starting gate)
Frodo: where are you going?
Hotaru: to the next event I am in the wind surfing contest.
Frodo : aren't you tired?
Hotaru: tired or not I have to compete. I signed up for the contest and there fore i have to compete. I don't have a choice.
Frodo : how many contest are you in?
Hotaru: ten.
Frodo : WHAT!! Which ones?
Hotaru: well after this I am in the beaty contest, and then there is the running competion, then comes water skiing contest and then then I am in a Dance competion and then I am in two of the melees, then I am competeting in a talent contest and then there is the plain surfing contest and then I have the underwater ballet contest (under water acrobatics as most people call it )then I have to compete in a music competion.
Frodo : no, you wont be competeing in all those. The music and Beauty are fie but after the windsurfing cometition no more physical ones for you. I will go talk to Galaxia now
Hotaru: Frodo what do you have against me competing in all the physical events?
Frodo : your too tired and you'll only end up hurting yourself
Galaxia: (walks up to frodo) what is Wrong young one?
Frodo: Hotaru is competing in ten competitions after the swimming one left her unconcious, it's not safe
Galaxia: she will be fine Sailor scout have an amazing abillity to bounce back.
Frodo : (turning to hotaru) if you wont drop the competitions for your self then do it for me. I don't want to see you get hurt
Galaxia: are you sure you want her to drop our of some of the competions? ( is talking to frodo)
Frodo: well not all, the beauty and music ones are fine but I do't want her doing anything else to physical
Hotaru: alright frodo if it means that much to you I will drop under water ballet,surfing, and water skiiing for you.
Frodo: thank you
Hotaru: I probably would have failed at them anyway. I was never very good at under water ballet. because I can only hold my breath for like two minutes. and I was never much good at surfing. I only entered those two because Michelle and Cye asked me to sign up with them.
Frodo: They'll understand why you dropped out
Hotaru: yeah I suppose your right I was pushing my self way to hard trying to do more then I could handle.
Frodo : yes you were
Galaxia:Hotaru I think you made a smart decision to drop some of the contests no one expects you to compete in everything just do what you are good at.
Frodo : she's right
Amara: (comes up to hotaru) hey hotaru you are still competting in the Running competion with me right you aren't going to wimp out just because you are afraid I will beat you are you?
Frodo : she did not wimp out I asked her to drop out
Amara: Why would you do something like that?
Frodo: because she was straining her self and she couldn't handle it. The swimming competition knocked her out and the others could have killed her
Galaxia: and besides Frodo is concerned for her well being. as you should be since you are her sister and are supposed to care about her.
Amara: (looks at frodo) I think you were just afraid she would lose to me and are trying to keep her from embarassing her self.
Frodo : Hotaru could beat you in anything she wanted to and your supposed to be her friend, why would you say something like that?
Hotaru: (looks down cast) Frodo she says it because its true I couldn't beat her in running she is the fastest runner I know she always runs like she is running away from something. I couldn't hope to beat her it was probably best that the Running contest was one of the contests I dropped.
Frodo : no, you could beat her if you really wanted too, just like your sailor powers could deafeat all of the sailors, her included, with one blast.
Amara: Keep Dreaming. her powers could beat mine but she has never won a race against me in her life and we have often raced to gether. well I will see you later chickies.( leaves)
Frodo : good ridance
Hotaru: (was really hurt by amara's teasing and heads off to her the beauty contest feeling even worse about herself.) I will see you you later frodo.
Frodo : i'll be watching the beauty contest
Galaxia: (comes up to frodo) Hotaru seems to really be taking her sister's teasing to heart doesn't she.
Frodo : yes she does. Why would her sister tease her like that?
Galaxia: well that kind of goes back to when they had been taken to the dynasty. you see hotaru seemed to have small amounts of problems running and having fun like many of the dynasty children. her sister were suffering similarly but in a lesser form so the doctors considered her to be weaker then any of her sisters and there for many of her siblings pick on her like that.
Frodo : oh
Galaxia: in a way frodo I think you are doing her alot of good. though her sisters still tease her and make her feel badly about herself or like she has to prove something to them when she is around you she seems to lossen up a bit I think she feels safe around you.
Frodo : I'll help her any way I can
Galaxia: I am glad to hear that. because she is going to need you the most during these next few days her sister will be picking on her merciliouly. plus it was not only her sisters that made her selfesteem bad it was also the fact that Talpa was not a very good pretend father.
Frodo : I can imagine
Galaxia: I could tell you tales of the abuse Hotaru and her sisters suffered as his
daughter that would make your hair stand on end.
Frodo : poor girls!
Galaxia: and I don't know if you have noticed but there have been times that I have
noticed that hotaru will actively avoid Legolas or Gimli I have even noticed she some times avoids merry and Pippin. Have you noticed it as well?
Frodo :yes, but why, they all like her
Galaxia: that is one of the consquences that hotaru now has to live with. Because talpa abused her for the time she was in the dynasty and he was a live she now has a small fear of people.Doesn't know who to trust but it seems she doesn't tend to shy away from you. or her mother. which is a good sign.
Frodo: she'll learn to trust them
Galaxia: give her time she will learn to trust them but the good thing is that she has already learned that she can trust some people you should thank your lucky stars that you are one of the people she trusts.
Frodo : I do, every day
Galaxia: well come on I will take you to the audiotorium where the beauty contest is
being held.
Frodo ok
Hotaru: (is very nervous and is also very thankful that she is the last contestant to be shown)
Anouncer: first up we have the Lovely Arwen she is flaunting a lovely hair style of dreadlocks with a pick bow hair clip at the end of each one her dress is a alpha senshi style that simply screams hello world stand up and take notice.
crowd : oooh aaahhhh
Anouncer: (goes through all the other contestants) and finally here is hotaru she is toteing a hair style that says I am an individual and her outfit simply screams I Don't care what any one else thinks I am unique and I like who I am and nothing is going to
change that.
crowd: ooooohhhh aaahhh
Hotaru: (walks on to the stage still dwelling on what amara said but hides it as best she can)
Anouncer: so which one of these lovely ladies will be today's big winner. well in a few minutes our judges will hand in the results.
(takes the envelope from the judges and opens it) and the results are Arwen wins and in second place is her (mumbles just loud enough for arwen to hear her) Pathetic sister
Hotaru. (didn't really think that hotaru's outfit was nice was just trying to be nice to see if the crowd hated it as much as she did) (and had actaully been paid by Amara to say that hotaru was pathetic)
Arwen : excuse me,but my sister is not pathetic!
Anouncer: and what makes you so sure of that?
Arwen : she's brave and loyal and sweeter than anyone I've ever met. Why would you say somwething like that about someone you didn't even know! (Is angry)
Anouncer: I said that because that is what I was paid by Sailor Uranus to say. She paid me to say that because Sailor Saturn is a weakling.
Arwen : Sailor Uranus! Come here NOW!
Amara: (walks up to her sister arwen) yes? (Smiles like nothing is wrong) What is it sis?
Arwen : How DARE you say that about our sister! You should be ashamed
Amara: I said those things because hotaru was to much of a coward to race against me in the running contest and decided to drop it because she knew she would lose.
Arwen : that still gives you NO right to disrespect her like that. Hotaru has medical problems, you KNOW that! It could have hurt if not killed her! Is that what You wanted to happen!
Amara: No.
Arwen : Well that is what could have happened because of your stupidity!
Amara: well Excuse me for trying to get hotaru to forget about her health problems and live alittle for a change.
Arwen : Making her feel BAD about herself was not the way to go about it!
Hotaru: (leaves the audiotorium and decides to go back to her room until the next contest starts)
Amara: well Arwen How did you expect me to behave towards Hotaru at that point HuH? (begins to Yell at Arwen) YOU SEE MY SISTERS AND I SPENT FIVE YEARS IN THE DYNASTY AT THE MERCY OF A MAD MAN BY THE NAME OF TALPA WHO ONLY TAUGHT US HOW TO BE MEAN AND WAS MEAN TO US AS WELL MEANWHILE YOU SPENT THAT TIME WITH OUR DAD LEARNING TO BE KIND AND GENTLE AND HALF A MILLION OTHER THINGS.
Arwen : that is NO EXCUSE! Do you see any of our other sisters acting like you?! NO!
Amara: Arwen you are impossible. I would like to see you go through what the others and I went through in talpa's clutches and see if you come out any better then I did.
Arwen : Hotaru came out better than you did! Mina, Rei, Ami, and Serena came out better than you did!
Amara: Yeah Right Hotaru may have come out with a Better attitude then I did but she came out with a terrible self esteem other wise my words wouldn't bother her so much.
Arwen : No, your words hurt all of us more than you know, your her sister, your supposed to love and protect her, not try and brng her down. I think your the one with the low self-esteem, otherwise you wouldn't be trying to hard to bring hotaru down to your level
Amara: Oh are you saying I should let her be a soft weakling like you and not try to make her strong and tough like me?
Arwen: I am no soft weakling sister
Mina: (walks up to the two fighting girls) Stop this we are sisters not enemies we shouldn't be fighting eachother. Save it for when we have enemies.
Amara: you stay out of this mina!
Arwen : I do not want to fight but I will not stand by and let her hurt and disrespect one of our sisters
Mina: I know how you feel arwen but this is not the way to fix this why don't we go and talk to dad. he will help us straighten this out.
Arwen : sometimes fighting is the only way to resolve things Mina. If we talk about this the idea will still remain in her head that she is the strongest and most powerful among us, someone needs to teach her otherwise and if I'm the one that must do it, so be it
Mina: but isn't dad the authority figure in our family? shouldn't he be informed when one of us is going over a line? he will probably be able to punish amara more fittingly then you will sis not saying you couldn't punish her in your own way.
Amara: (becomes nervous) we don't really have to bring dad into this do we?
Arwen : yes, but punishment is not what I intend to accomplish, bringing dad in would only show her that we cannot fight for our selves and that we must have our "daddy" solve all our problems
Mina: Alright arwen whatever you say you are older then me after all but I think I will go and see if Hotaru is alright.
Arwen : yes, do that, and tell her what I intend to do. I beleive Hotaure has more power than Amara thinks she does
Arwen : and perhaps if one of us is in danger she will finally decide to use it
Mina: Alright arwen just be careful Amara is pretty powerful.
Arwen : I will
Mina:(leaves and heads towards hotaru's room)
Amara: are you ready to be trounced in to little tiny peices.(has regained her composure)
Arwen : I do not fear you
Amara: Big mistake.
Arwen : you would hurt your own sister?
Amara:(seems to think it over and has a mental Conversation with Her old friend Cecilia who had taught her to be a bully which is loud enough through telepathy for arwen to hear) Cecilia why do we have to hurt and intimidate people?
Cecilia: (in amara's mind) Because that is what bullies do. we have to be mean and tough to get a head in life.
Arwen : amara, you don't have to be a bully to get a head in life
Amara: (mentally) but it feels wrong I don't like having people be afraid of me.
Arwen : we're not afraid of you, we feel sorry for you
Cecilia: you have people to be afraid of you to inoder to get respect. remember that all the popular kids thought you were beneath them. I am your only friend.
Amara: but what about my sisters I always considered them to be my friends as well.
Arwen : she doesn't know wnythingm haven't you ever heard the phrase misery loves company
Amara: (is brought back to reality by the sound of Arwen's voice) Arwen what just happened? and what were you talking about? (doesn't know that Arwen had heard the entire mental conversation)
Arwen : I heard everything you were replaying in your mind
Amara: you heard everything? well know you know why I am such a problem.
Arwen: No I don't, you are who you choose to be, not who someone else tells you you should be
Amara: Awen don't you get it Cecilia was my mentor she was the only friend I had when I was a child I did my best to fit in with her mainly because everyone else in school thought I was worth as much as the dirt under their feet.
